TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Hollis Thompson found just the right spot for a game-winning shot: Right in front of Georgetown's bench.

Thompson hit a long 3-pointer with 1.8 seconds left to lift the Hoyas to a 57-55 win over No. 12 Alabama on Thursday night, ending the Crimson Tide's 24-game home winning streak. Then he didn't have to go far for the celebration.

Jason Clark, who had 22 points, dribbled up the court and handed off to Thompson, who drilled it to give Georgetown (6-1) its second win in three games over a team ranked in the Top 12.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Anthony Davis had no idea just how close he was to a triple-double. It was just a dominating night for the Kentucky freshman.

Davis scored 15 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and had eight of a school-record 18 blocks in the top-ranked Wildcats' 81-59 victory over St. John's on Thursday night.

"He changed everything about the game," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "He blocked shots, he scored baskets, he rebounded tough rebounds, he came up with balls."

Terrence Jones added 26 points and nine rebounds for the Wildcats (7-0), who head into a highly anticipated showdown with No. 5 North Carolina on Saturday on a high note after a stalwart defensive performance.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) LaDontae Henton had 18 points and Vincent Council and Gerard Coleman had 16 points each as Providence pulled away late to defeat South Carolina 76-67 in the Big East-SEC Challenge on Thursday night.

The Friars (6-2) used a 14-4 run late in the second half that featured a four-point play from Bryce Cotton to take control.

The Gamecocks (2-5) had cut an 11-point lead down to 51-47 on Brian Richardson's three-point play with 8:54 to go when Providence got going. Coleman started the clinching rally with a pair of foul shots before Cotton struck for a 3-pointer from the top, left side of the basket and was fouled by Anthony Gill.

The game marked the return to the basketball team of South Carolina point guard Bruce Ellington, who had been playing with the Gamecocks football team.
